The Cinema of Faith: Jesus of Montreal

This chapter examines the film 'Jesus of Montreal,' focusing on its modern interpretation of the passion play and the challenges faced by the actors in revitalizing this narrative. It addresses the tensions between traditional religious authority and contemporary artistic expression while exploring themes of identity, marginalization, and the socio-political implications of storytelling. The discussion critiques how both religious institutions and capitalist interests can exploit narratives, calling for a deeper understanding of privilege and justice in today's society.
